Abstract

The conceptual basis of the article includes descriptions, characteristics and relationships between all aspects of reflection. The aim of the work is to present the evolution, structure and learning of language since the evolution of the human species, already of a genetic order, then became cultural, therefore teachable. Culture, through the changes offered by education to intentional learning, is the engine of man's changes and evolution. From language as a biological moment of adaptation we have moved on to an intentional and specific form of language, the structure of which is to be placed in relation to language learning and behaviour. The relationship between language and its physiological bases has been indicated with the support of psycholinguistics: mental, linguistic processes, human cognitive abilities, involved in the conception, elaboration, description and definition of narratives. The investigation of language learning has been referred to classical theories such as the magic number 7 theory (Miller), the universal language theory (Chomsky) and the cognitivist theory (Piaget). The results of the study led to hypothesize and formulate a new teaching/learning model for languages in suitable laboratories and inserted in educational environments. The laboratory is stimulating and is the one generated as CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), to respond to the connotation of multiculturalism and plurilingualism.
